Heating your home in winter is
absolutely essential, but you don’t want to be running up huge
heating bills either. Keeping the heat on all the time throughout
your house can get expensive in a hurry. Plus, with the increased
demand for heat across the board, the fuels used become more
expensive as well, which only serves to drive up your bill even more.

So, what’s the alternative? Well,
here at Bahr’s, we offer a wide range
of propane powered space heaters that can help you keep your home
toasty warm in the winter without costing you an arm and a leg. Also,
our expert staff is happy to assist you in making the right propane
space heater choice to suit your particular needs in your Zephyrhills
area home.

Propane Space Heaters Benefits

If you’re relying only on your
central heating system to keep your home comfortable in the winter,
you’re pretty much going to have it running the whole time. You’re
also likely going to be heating a lot of rooms that are unoccupied,
which is quite simply a waste of energy. Space heaters, on the other
hand, are easy to turn on and off when you need them.

They also don’t take too long to heat
up since you’re only relying on them to heat a smaller space. It
may take your central heating system a half hour or more to truly
warm up your house when you first turn it on. However, you’ll begin
to feel the heat from propane space heaters almost immediately and
you’ll be comfortable in no time.

This not only saves you time and gets
you warm faster, but it’s also often much cheaper than heating your
whole house all of the time. If you want to keep your house
comfortable, you really need to just leave the heat on even when
you’re not there. Space heaters, however, can quickly warm up a
room as soon as you get home so you don’t need to waste energy and
money keeping an empty house warm.

Some of these models are even
programmable, meaning that you can set your heater to shut off at
night or when you leave for work in the morning and then
automatically come back on when you’re up and about again. They
also incorporate state of the art safety features like oxygen
depletion sensors that shut off the heater if it detects the level of
oxygen in the air is dropping to unsafe levels.

Types of Propane Space Heaters

There are quite a few different types
of propane space heaters. Some can be mounted on the wall, while
others are easy to pick up and carry with you from one room to
another. These types of heaters also come with different BTU ratings,
which essentially describe the size of the space they’re suited
for. A heater with a higher BTU will be able to heat a larger area.
However, if the rooms in your home are smaller, you won’t need a
very powerful heater at all.

Propane vs. Electric Space Heaters

Of course, there are other types of
heaters besides those powered by propane. Electric space heaters are
the ones most commonly found in homes, and some of them can be quite
effective. However, you don’t want to cut down on your heating bill
only to run up your electric bill. Propane space heaters are often
much cheaper to operate than their electric counterparts.

These heaters are also more portable
and versatile since they don’t need to be plugged into an outlet in
order to function. Although specifications vary from one brand to
another, most propane space heaters maintain a low outer surface
temperature than similar electric heaters, which minimizes the
chances that you, your pet or your child will accidently be burned by
the heater.

With so many different types of propane
space heaters to choose from, it can be difficult to figure out which
one will be the best for your particular situation. That’s why,
when you call Bahr’s Propane Gas & AC
Inc., we’ll be happy to assist you in selecting the right
propane space heater to get the job done in your home. Our expert
staff will show you exactly how to operate your heater and what
precautions you may want to take in order to keep everyone in your
home safe and warm all winter long.
